Famous Last Words

Each night at dinner a candle is lit and the family says grace.  When Ellen was small it was always "God is Great, God is Good, now we thank him for our food".  However, now a designated person reads from "Graces ..  Prayers & Poems for Everyday Meals and Special Occasions" by June Cotner.   This evening Ellen picked the shortest Grace from Chapter 10 (Short Graces): 

"Make yourself a light"  Budda (his last words to his followers). 

So what exactly would be your last words to family, friends and followers?  Budda's words could easily been a tweet at only 21 characters (less than 140 character limitation). 

So in the twitter tradition think of some last words - limited to less than 140 characters that you would whisper at the end.

For some ideas and inspiration, here is the link to famous people's last words  -  http://corsinet.com/braincandy/dying.html.

The best choice of words  ---  "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit"  - Jesus Christ  (Luke 23:46)
